Been awhile since I logged in. Finished a new site focused on helping devs use AI to create #vanilla html #websites and #webapps. Check it out, add your vanilla html site to the showcase. justhtml.dev #indiedev #webdev

justhtml.dev

Most devs avoided rolling their own tools before AI. Now? Blogs, ad engines, API trackers — easier than ever to build. Would you roll your own today?

Shipped a homegrown blog instead of WordPress/Ghost. Reason: control, speed, and my brand stays mine. Stack: .NET + vanilla JS, Markdown→HTML, Clerk, Docker. Built in a weekend. Write-up: coderbdev.com/blog

BoardStash - Collect Ideas, Share Effortlessly Create public boards for your projects where anyone can submit ideas, feedback, and feature requests. No sign-up required.

The deed is done. Login was uploaded today for boardstash.app It was not what I wanted to do, but I kind of knew it would be inevitable. I know the thumbnail says no login, I need to change that, too. It is a nice app to share your projects and get insight from users!
#codeinpublic #devs

Sad but true. Working on it now. App was built for the inevitable login, but fighting with Supabase. Will eventually change separate, but not today

I wanted to keep Board Stash login-free forever.
But… no-login is harder than it looks.
Bad actors, board spamming, no notifications, no ownership.
Logins are coming soon — not because I want them, but because I need them. boardstash.app

I am considering doing some videos on the process of writing my next app. I have a few ideas about the app, and it will be using billivio to allow a pay per use system. Who would be interested in seeing the creation process from the beginning to launch, all in video format? #appdev #indiedav #saas

I can totally see that!!

I think this is the beginning of an addiction. lol. my first keycaps I bought for my 2nd mechanical keyboard.

Agreed. It is handy to have almost 3 decades of development experience. I have no idea how someone jumping into Vibe coding with no coding experience can do it. Sure there are the people who can pick it up, but it can't be easy for everyone.

I realized that I hadn't removed the incredibly expensive AI sample pricing. I have put in a better example, thoughts?

The homepage currently says:

"Just a tiny fee per API call — around 1 cent"

With an example like:

If your service logs 1,000 uses, your cost might be around $1.25 — maybe less.

🚢 Just launched billivio.com — a tiny API to sell per-use access to your tool, no subscriptions needed.

Built it for myself. It’s live now. Would love feedback or testers!

Great for AI tools, micro SaaS, or one-off services.

I am launching a new app! Please check it out. Https://www.billivio.com it is for #devs and #appowners who don't need to charge a subscription service.

I try to be. Lol.

Good point, as it would be impossible to do it manually from 1000 devs. Thanks for the insight. Definitely not a viewpoint I had thought of.

However, you can also argue that the amount of electricity that AI used is far more than the usage would be without it. Thanks for your answer, and I appreciate the honest feedback

If we don't use AI, we type relatively standardized code, Google what we don't know, and copy-paste code that is publicly available. It isn't exactly the same, but it is still using other people's code that they posted. AI makes all of that faster and more efficient as far as time to live goes.

If a #programmer has an idea for an #app. They spend 16-24 hours using baby steps to guide #AI to write the code, and it turns out AI wrote 99% of the code. The programmer had to be very descriptive of everything at every step. Whose app is it? #opinions #code #aicoding
